Monday's child is fair of face,Tuesday's child is full of grace,Wednesday's child is full of woe,Thursday's child has far to go,Friday's child is loving and giving,Saturday's child must work for a living,But the child that's born on the Sabbath day,Is fair and wise and good and gay.

I was born on a Thursday, and sometimes I feel like the line in the poem is more accurate than I'd like.

But today was a really good Thursday, with the minor exception of the non-cooperation of the MBTA on my outbound trip. I went to the Women in Development Brown Bag lunch, and it was one of the best presentations I've ever attended. The two presenters were talking about best practices for creating a prospect pool for the Annual Fund, as well as ways to really work on making the most of a career in the Annual Fund in general. I took at least 4 pages of notes, and in addition, I met three possible job connections. I'm working at improving my "elevator speech," although I really dislike that term.

I feel pretty positive about the coming week, and hopefully I will have a chance to return to the regularly scheduled barrage of posts on current events, feminism, and philosophy.
